Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/27/23

Saturday, May 20th 12pm – 3pm

Puppy Haven Brookhaven

Puppy Haven is very excited to announce our Sixth Annual Party for the Paws, benefiting The Atlanta Humane Society! The event will be held on Saturday, May 20th from 12pm-3pm at Puppy Haven Brookhaven, located on Caldwell Road. We’re so happy to celebrate Puppy Haven’s 10 year anniversary in such a special way.


The Atlanta Humane Society has spent 150 years giving animals hope. As a no-kill shelter, they have remained steadfast in their mission to stand strong in defense of the vulnerable. AHS provides sheltering, adoptions, veterinary care and community outreach to the Atlanta Metro Community. As one of the oldest charities in Atlanta, AHS is a premier leader and resource for the welfare and protection of companion animals in the Southeast.

Puppy Haven’s goal is to celebrate The Atlanta Humane Society’s mission and to host a family- friendly fundraiser to celebrate their 150 Year Anniversary! Our Party for the Paws will include food trucks, a local beer truck, music, photo booth, over 30 vendors, doggy pools, bounce house, face painting and MORE! Our partner, The Atlanta Humane Society,
will host an adoption event during Party for the Paws in hopes of finding “furever” homes for their animals
in need!


Having grown in attendance each year, the event has become a big staple in the community, and
we expect this year to be no different!

Let them eat cake…and drink Champagne when The Blind Pig Parlour Bar transforms into Le Pig, for destination dining with a French flair. No passports are needed for guests to embark on a journey and slip away for a whimsical French escape like no other. Imagine an evening strolling under the twinkling lights of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées or perhaps sliding into a quiet Parisian bistro for light bites with fabulous cocktails.  Mais, non? Do you prefer the sunny South? Bien sûr! How about ethereal blue skies and sun-kissed fields of lavender? C’est la belle vie at Le Pig.

Orchestrated by Kim Fong, lead designer for Southern Proper Hospitality Group, the Buckhead speakeasy famous for its eclectic ambiance will magically transform into a romantic, chic and energetic celebration of all things French.

“We want to create an experience where we make people happy!” says Fong. “Modern life means everyone works hard and is busy all the time. Le Pig will be a place for fantasy, fun and escape. Each design vignette is different, engaging diners to be in the moment and let go for a little while.”

Le Pig is guaranteed to bring out the Francophile in guests. Every detail—from the carefully sourced ingredients of the tantalizing hors d oeuvres to the notes of la musique—is carefully curated by the talented teams at Southern Proper Hospitality Group. “Each pop-up is different, and we always want to do something we haven’t done before. It’s like an art installation. We each work closely to tie all of the experience together,” Fong continues.

The gastronomical center of Europe, France is undoubtedly most famous for food and wine. The cocktails and light bites of Le Pig draw inspiration from the beloved sidewalk cafes of Paris and St. Tropez alike. Guests will recognize some French classics and experience some surprises with a decadent Gallic-inspired menu of small plates and desserts for sharing including:

  • French onion soup dumplings – French onion soup base, Gruyère cheese, garlic crouton crumbles and green onion ($14)
  • Chicken liver mouse crostini – creamy, rich and indulgent ($12)
  • Frenched lamb chops with red wine demi-glace ($22)
  • Macaroon tasting plate ($12)
